Extremely dated hotel.It's not kept well. The only reason I booked there was the day trip I had early morning which started from King Hotel. I have sent them a message to take advantage of the "free airport shuttle" - they didn't even bother to answer and obviously the shuttle was not there. I had dinner on the rooftop which looked a bit better than the restaurant near the lobby but the food was awful. Sadly I can't say anything good about this hotel

In the middle of everything, easy walking distance to stores, breakfasts included-limited. Rooms need some maintaining, basics-bed-small shower stalls-lighting not great-doors not really secure-under some construction-elevator door gets stuck on tiled floor. staff polite-friendly but limited on understanding English language, however they try. Rooms & sheets clean, immediate attention to problems fixed when informed, internet accessable-wait staff efficient. No printer available for print outs from personal computer. Reservations for hotel room via internet did not reach hotel. Also exchange rate fixed at hotel even so bank's rates are much lower.

Not particularly nice
First and foremost, staff were great. Very helpful and accommodating. I booked my room months in advance only to turn up and they had no reservation for me. Staff made phone calls, I showed my reservation email, which I had to forward in to someone else as proof and they gave me a room. The room was pretty awful. Mattress was thin, sheets had hair on them which made me think they hadn't been washed, at least properly, blanket was dirty, bathroom could be updated, fridge was so noisy I unplugged it and was genreally a noisy place. I wouldn't recommend, even if it's just an overnight stop between flights like mine was.

Arranged a hotel pickup and the driver did not show up at the airport. Upon check-in, staff was trying to imply that it was my fault because the driver claimed he was at the airport. Management is deceptive above the "free" airport shuttle, claiming that you need 3 nights to get one. It should really be taken off orbitz as an amenity since I mostly chose this location for its shuttle/airport ride. The room was quite dirty, with long chunks of hair under the sheets. The room left a lot to be desired in terms of maintenance, as the ac was falling apart and the toilet was not functional. Not worth the money I paid, and the room did not look at all like the photos.

A nice hotel downtown. Service in hotel was berg good. The roof top bar mostly was out of wines, however beer was available. The neighborhood dogs barked off and on all night. Seemed to sleep most of the day. The facility was fine, except most of the electrical outlets were worn out and would not charge.

Nice hotel close to the real Cairo costumes
Excellent experience!!! One of the most greatest must-see worldwide places anybody shall go. The king Hotel is one of the best place because it's location and multiple avenue. Their staffs are so friendly, and very humble, willing to help you all the time. The breakfast buffet it's a tasty Arabic meals, and the koshary serve at nights its delicious as well. During my book tours, I was lucky a group cancelled, so Ms. Aline was my tour guide for 5 hours. The ticket for going inside the pyramid is not included ($200 Egypt pound-$13 US dollars), so make sure you buy it before get in. The experience inside the pyramid is amazing, but creepy. You will see people screaming and suffocate for the lack of oxygen sensation, just be calm and cross thru the tunnel for 12 minutes. Don not do it if you are CLAUSTROPHOBIC!, I mean it, it looks like you are buried alieved. The next part of excursion was a close show to pyramids, but I pay ($800 Egypt pound- $56 US) to Shamar (the owner of camels). Come on this is an unique experience and paying this for a 45 minutes ridding on a camel and taking a high quality picture, will worth the price. If you bargain souvenirs for ($15-20 dollars) , you may have 10-12 small different types of souvenirs and magnet as well. I was so tired by the time I came back to hotel , but ridding a camel and going inside the pyramids are the BEST Wonderful done so far in this Egypt tour! Good blessings, and enjoy your life at full!

Internet access is only in the lobby. I am OK with this but wish it could handle more traffic. This would not prevent me from staying again, though. Everyone on staff is friendly and willing to help. Almost everyone speaks some English (those at the front desk are fluent), so I didn't have any problems with communication.

It is near Dokki metro station. By walk, it takes 5 minutes. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO that this hotel does not provides free shuttle bus service from the airport. You may get a taxi from the airport and ask the driver to PUT THE METER ON. It will start from 3.00 L.E (Egyptian pound) only. It will cost 40 to 50 L.E. (26km) in total. The price from the airport star alliance service without putting the meter is not reasonable at all. It will cost you 200 L.E. or more to reach the downtown. If the driver does not want to put the meter on, please find the next one to try. The hotel itself provides only free wifi in the lobby. There is no wifi in your room. No shampoo, no dryer, no slippers, etc. Please prepare as much as you need. As it is a 3-star hotel, the price is reasonable and friendly from Expedia. The breakfast provided by the hotel is not fresh at all. But you can buy food and drink, and almost all you need for traveling from a supermarket nearby. Just turn right and turn left from the hotel door, you will find a supermarket with green sign on your right side. It only takes 1 minute from the hotel itself.

Good value, would go again
I liked King Hotel Cairo. The staff were friendly, the rooms were adequate, there was an in-room AC, tv, and frig, and the prices were right. They also helped me book a tour, though I'm sure they became a profit middle-man in the process. What I didn't like was that the floor of my room was filthy with dust, no wi-fi in the room, smoking allowed in the lobby where there is wi-fi (but that's all of Egypt - death by 2nd hand smoke), and they didn't clean my room or make my bed or change my towels once during my 3 day stay. I have no idea why. Despite all that, I would go again.

Great place to stay in Cairo while on a budget
I debated long and hard before selecting a hotel to stay in while visiting Cairo. I had originally planned to stay with friends, but the timing was off, so I had to fit a hotel into my three-country travel budget. I wanted inexpensive, safe, and decent. The King Hotel was a great fit. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, which helped me get much-needed sleep. I arrived very late, in the middle of the night, after a flight delay. When I arrived, the desk clerk asked if I had taken the wrong bag from the airport. I checked, and, to my extreme embarrassment, I had. The real owner had already called the hotel (thanks to my location notation on my entry card) and the clerk put me in contact with her. The clerk arranged for a trusted driver (in the middle of the night) who delivered the bag to her, costing me just $6. I had no bag, and the hotel helped me with necessities for the night. Problems at the airport the next day precluded me from getting my bag, so I opted to head to Alexandria early for a visit with friends. The hotel kindly adjusted my stay-time. When I came back three days later, I stayed there again. The hotel is off the main path, but I had a driver with car, so that was of no consequence. The breakfasts were fine and typical Egyptian-style - I never left hungry. I reserved a three-bed, then a two-bed room. The cost difference was small, and I liked having the extra space. Everything was clean, the water was hot, and there were enough outlets for electronics. The weather was moderate, so I didn't need heat or air conditioning. The first night I had a decent mattress, but during the second stay my mattress was too thin, even with one piled on top of the other. When I mentioned that when I check-out, they asked me why I hadn't told them, as they would have found me a better one. I believed them. One regret - I never made it up to the roof restaurant, as I was not there when it was open. I really appreciated the help and effort put forth by the staff, and will stay here again on my next visit. If you are used to staying in American-comfort type hotels, the King Hotel will be too bare-boned for you. But if you travel to see and do things (rather than cocooning in your hotel), and appreciate inexpensive hotel value, safety, and a caring staff, I whole-heartedly recommend the King Hotel.

古いホテルだった。無料駐車場有りと書いてるが駐車場はなく、バイクは向かいの歩道の上に停めさせられた。チェックイン中にホテルの前に駐車していた所、オーナーみたいな人から、邪魔になるからと移動させられた。空港送迎無料とXperiaに書かれているが有料だった。滞在を一日延ばすと言ったら、Xperiaに申し込んだら、宿泊を断ると言われた。仕方なく15ドル余分に払った。洗面の水が詰まって流れない。wifi が使え無かった！部屋は勿論使えないが、ロビーでも使えないので、コーヒーショップに行ってwifi を借りた。裏のパスワードが有るような話も聞いたが？今回の旅行で200ヶ所程のホテルに泊まったが、このホテルが一番対応が悪いと思った。このホテルに泊まった為、エジプトが嫌いになった！

Das Hotel ist zwar etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber es hat in unserem Zimmer alles funktioniert, Auch unsere Wünsche hinsichtlich Nichtraucherzimmer wurden erfüllt. Die Betten sind ausreichend groß und von guter Qualität. Die Lage ist durch die UBahnnähe einerseits und relative Ruhe andererseits wirklich gut. Uns hat das Frühstück im ägyptischen Stil gut gefallen. Die Angestellten sind freundlich und diskret und hilfsbereit. Neben dem üblichen Besuchsprogramm haben wir auch einen Abend in der nahen Oper mit dem erstaundlich gutenCairo Symphonieorchester erlebt. Eine Empfehlung sich nach Vorstellungen zu erkunden (Gute Karten um 5 €, aber Kravattenpflicht für Herren)

Ótimo custo benefício (diárias a 30USD). Quarto limpo e confortável, um conveniente restaurante no último andar. Fiquei 3 dias na cidade com guia em todos os dias porém senti falta de não poder fazer nada caminhando de noite (mesmo para jantar, há necessidade de ir de táxi e isso foi um grande problema pois não falavam inglês, tivemos que parar em hotéis como Four Seasons ou Intercontinental para o motorista entender aonde estava querendo ir). Não gostei da localização (melhor próximo ao Nilo ou praça Tahir) mas no geral achei o hotel excelente pelo custo benefício e recomendo.
